We’ve all had that moment in the kitchen.

Proclamation Goods aspires to help us all enjoy simpler, more intentional lives with beautifully functional things in the kitchen that spark joy, reflect our values, and help create new memories. That’s why the brand only sells two extremely high-quality cookware pieces that prioritize the health and safety of its customers and the planet.

The pans are crafted to last forever using responsibly sourced, time-tested, non-toxic materials produced by a family-owned cookware manufacturer in Wisconsin. They can be used in the oven or on the stovetop up to 500℉. To help keep your body and the environment healthy, these pans are free of coatings. Instead, they use high-quality, naturally low-stick materials. Still, you’ll need to use a bit of oil or butter to keep things moving. They’re super lightweight, and the aluminum core makes for even heat with no hot spots.

Do you really need varietal-specific wine glasses?
Varietal-specific glassware in wine
Two glasses of wine on picnic table

If you follow wine, you likely know that red wines and white wines are generally served in different glasses. But did you know that a lot of glassware out there is varietal specific? In other words, whether you're drinking a bright Pinot Grigio, barbecue-friendly Tempranillo, or sweet late harvest Riesling, there's a very particular glass engineered just for that pour.

Which begs the question: Is this savvy marketing or science (or both)? Having spent nearly 20 years in the wine industry, I'm aware of the many gimmicks out there. You can use a large bowl to decant wine just fine. You probably don't need a Coravin unless you're a wine collector or are sitting on some old gems. And don't get me started on longwinded tasting notes (everybody's palate is different and there's too much psychology involved).

Oktoberfest season needn't be boozy, as alcohol-free beer brand Athletic Brewing is releasing a special non-alcoholic beer to celebrate the season. The Oktoberfest brew is inspired by traditional Bavarian Festbiers, and aims to capture the flavors of the style without the booze.

While non-alcoholic beers were considered something of a sad necessity for a long time, in recent years there has been a boom in low- or no-alcohol options which have all the flavor and drinking experience of their boozy cousins. Athletic Brewing has been making an Oktoberfest beer since 2019, though this is the first year that it will be available in all 50 U.S. states.

Donnafugata's new packaging for its 2023 vintage is made from recycled glass and is 25% lighter than a typical bottle, weighing in at 410 grams instead of the usual 550 grams. The recycled glass bottle is produced entirely on Sicily, the island off the coast of Italy where the brand hails from, and also includes a Nomacorc Ocean closure which is made from recycled plastic that was collected from coastal areas.
